OpenCon Oulu is a seminar on open science aimed at students and early career academic professionals. Open science is a way of thinking that emphasizes transparency of the entire research process. Different aspects of open science are gaining popularity both nationally and internationally. In addition to open access, open science is about open data, open software, open peer-review, pre-registering trials, open lab notebooks and reproducible science, to name a few aspects.

Even though ways of doing science are diversifying thanks to technological progress and active discourse, open science is still not a part of most academic training. To provide a broad perspective of the spectrum of open science, OpenCon Oulu brings experts from different fields to share their experience with a broader audience.

The seminar will be held at the University of Oulu, lectre hall L9 from 12am to 5pm. More details will be confirmed later. There will be a social event after the seminar.
